D.R. Harris Arlington Shaving Soap in Mahogany Stained Wood Bowl

Get yourself a good brush to go with this and you'll have everything you need for the most relaxing, refined shaving experience around. D.R. Harris Arlington Shaving Soap, here packed inside a mahogany stained bowl, has a great scent that's masculine and light at the same time. It's refreshing, to say the least, but that's not the only benefit of this particular product.When you're using the really cheap foam in a can that you will find at drug and grocery stores, you can't count on it to hold up until you're done getting rid of your stubble. As it degrades, it ceases to provide lubrication and that exposes the tender skin of your face to the razor. With a product like this from D.R. Harris, the lather lasts your entire shave. It soaks into the whiskers, fattening them and making them easier to cut away. It also soothes your skin. Add to that the scent of this soap ' light and citrus-like ' and you will see why it's so popular with those who take their grooming seriously. Protect your face from burns, bumps and nicks by using the right products and you'll soon see why fewer people are satisfied with lesser products!Refills also available.

Smells like grandmas perfume

The soap itself is good like all dr harris soap, you don't need a stiffer bristle to get a good lather and the protection is nice but the scent is awful, it's very floral like my grandma's old cheap perfume. If you want a Dr harris I would recommend marlborough or even the sandalwood.

Quality vs. Value

The soap is good quality, and the bowl is nice, but the Arlington scent is very overrated. Used this soap with the Arlington milk balm aftershave, which was much more milky than balmy, and I didn't care at all for either one. You can easily find much better value in other alternatives.

I dare say luxurious!

I've been doing DE shaving for a little over a year now. While I've tried creams from both Art of Shaving and Musgo Real, my skin is pretty sensitive and as such I've used Proraso's sensitive skin soap. It's all right and has never irritated my skin but the lather has never been that great. This soap does it. It does not take a lot to get a nice smooth creamy lather. My wife even really likes this particular scent a lot! The bowl is a nice touch too.
